- Behaviorism
- Assumptions
- only interested in behavior that can be observed and measured
- Control, Objectivity, lab experiments
- Basic learning is the same in all species e.g animals can replace humans
- Classical Conditioning
- learning by association
- Pavlov's Dogs
- When the dog eats food (UNS), it feels pleasure (UNR)
- Every time the dogs ate, a bell was rung (NS)
- The dogs associated the bell with the food
- The bell has now become the conditioned stimulus and pleasure is the conditioned response

- Operant Conditioning
- Skinners Rats
- In a box with a lever
- If they touched the lever they would get a treat
- They associated the level with a positive reward so learnt to press the lever
- Positive Reinforcement
- They associated the level with a positive reward so learnt to press the lever
- If they touched the lever they would get a treat
- In a box with a lever
- Negative Reinforcement
- Avoidance of something unpleasant (electric shock condition)
- Punishment
- unpleasant consequence
- Skinners Rats
- Positives
- Scientific Credibility- measurement of observable behavior, highly controlled lab studies and allow replication
- Real Life Application- e.g. token economy in prisons (OC) and classical condition treating phobias
- Negatives
- Environmental Determinism- this approach says that all behavior is determined by past experiences. Ignores any possible influence of free will
- Ethical and Practical issues in animal experiments- stressful to animals, skinners rats electric shock
- Mechanistic View of Behaviour- animals seen as passive and machine like, little or no conscious insight
- Assumptions
